Mince Meat Pies
Many, many , many years ago min e meat was actually meat - somewhere along the line the recipe changed to chat we know now. My Dad loved mince meat pie and my grandmother (his mom) always made what was called hard sauce. Not sure why but it did contain liquor. I remember that grandma had made the hard sauce with the liquor and my grandpa either didn’t know she had already added it or he thought there wasn’t enough - so he added more. I remember my Dad saying that was the best hard sauce she had ever made😁😁. I never had any - not sure if it was because of the booze or that the name sounded yucky but now I sure wish I had had some.
